Quick question for those of you who either ordered the bluetooth phone prep from the factory or retro-fitted it.
Do you need a cradle in the car in order to enable bluetooth functionality.
I would have assumed not, however my brother is in the process of ordering a new GTI and wants to get this fitted, however the dealer is telling him that he needs to order a cradle (for an additional 250 euro) or else the bluetooth will not work - even though he won't need the cradle since he'll be using bluetooth.
I know this is not exactly Audi related, but I thought some of you may be able to confirm it. My impression is that the dealer doesn't really know or else is just trying to screw an extra few quid out of him.
By the way, the reason he wants to order the bluetooth factory fit is because the GTI now comes with a whip aeriel on the roof and ordering the bluetooth gets him a shark-fin instead.
Any help greatly appreciated.
